To be at peace is to be free.
Free of anxiety, stress, fear, anger, loneliness, and all the other disturbing reactions that diminish our enjoyment of life.
Free in the realisation that to be truly happy and fulfilled, we have nothing to achieve - that the peaceful joy of our true nature has just become obscured by a misconception: the belief that we are lacking in some way. A belief that leads us to seek fulfilment in our relationships, in how we look, what we do and what we have.
However, despite all that we have obtained and achieved, we still haven't found what we are looking for because the wholeness we seek is not outside of ourselves; it is within us. We already are that which we have been searching for, and every moment offers the opportunity to realise this - that the freedom of inner peace is our natural state of being and it is here, now.
Practical and empowering examples, suggestions and practices, together with relevant experiences and insights from the author's eventful journey through life, guide the reader to understand their own life experience, to let go of unhelpful beliefs and habits, and awaken to the peaceful freedom of their true nature.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
Simple but effective This is a great book to start your journey of self reflection and personal enlightenment. The author uses personal experiences as exemplars' which are candid but appropriate and authentic. He returns to meditation and mindfulness techniques throughout the text for the reader's individual practice which are easy to read and engage with. Overall, a calming and gentle book for personal growth.
Ok I should disclose that I was big friend of the author's from school and right through our 20's including when he was my lodger for a year. I guess that gives me a unique and maybe skewed perspective on a book which is partly a memoir of some key turning points in his life. Anyway after that our paths sort of diverged as I carried on just sort of getting on and Greg dedicated himself to learning a lot more and thinking a lot more about what It Is All About. In Stop Taking the Peace he has provided some answers. The structure is that each chapter introduces an concept which is explained and then backed up with some real life experiences and then followed up with by some really practical ideas of what you can do to bring this idea to life in your life. It doesn't attempt perfection and greg makes clear that he is not perfect and is still work in progress. Which is reassurring to the rest of us I reckon. What I like is that nothing is rammed down your throat. Everything in here is gentle, practical and a really accessible read. And I would challenge anyone to not find some benefit in those answers. If we all did that, we would be just fine. Live in the present. Read the book. It will Help.
